For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.

He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.

The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.

There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
